Yea, my freshman year I got unwillingly roped into a course called ''Interdepartmental Studies' by a 'counselor' who informed me that I was taking too many math / science courses for a 1st semester freshman. The course ended up being taught in the round; the concept was to 'rap' about the current issues of the day.. pollution, racism, the Vietnam war, etc etc while looking around at each other. Half the class didn't want to be there, and the other half didn't bother to be there. It would have been more productive if we had just played dodgeball sitting in those chairs. I ended up just making it my own personal study hall and caught up on my reading for my more 'traditional' courses. It's both sad and pathetic to think that there are college degrees out there that might have those kinds of courses as core curriculum.
